Christmas Message from our Chair – Aideen Blackborough

This has been my first year as Chair of Cerebral Palsy Sport and I am incredibly proud of the work the charity is doing and the opportunities that we are providing to so many people with Cerebral Palsy to play, participate and enjoy sport.

Christmas is often a time for reflecting on the year gone by and making plans for the year to come and I am acutely aware that our plans for the future would be fruitless without the amazing support of all our participants that take part in our programmes and their incredible families that support them.

Thank you!

I would also like to extend our gratitude to all our funders, supporters and also the hard work and dedication of all those individuals who fundraise for us. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank-you for your time and effort in supporting Cerebral Palsy Sport. Without you, the work we do would be impossible.

Thank you to our amazing Sporting Ambassadors and Young Sporting Ambassadors who have given their time to share their incredible stories with us and to inspire more people to take up sport.

Thank You!

We also could do not deliver what we do without the incredible support and dedication of all our loyal volunteers. You help us achieve all we do for people with cerebral palsy.

Thank you for giving your time!

In the day to day of managing a charity, it can be easy to forget what all the hard work is for. Attending a Cerebral Palsy Sport event though soon reminds me that we’re providing amazing opportunities for people with disabilities who might not otherwise have the chance to enjoy sport. My sincere thanks goes to our Trustees and team members for all their hard work through the year.

Next year, we will be taking Team CP England to Spain to compete in 2018 CPISRA World Games. This is an amazing opportunity for our athletes to compete internationally and we are extremely honoured and proud to be leading the team.

We really wouldn’t be able to do this without your continued support. I hope you all realise how incredibly valued you are and how much I and the Cerebral Palsy Sport team appreciate what you do.

Thank you.

Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and fulfilling New Year!
